<p>Two more Democrats have announced their plans to retire and not seek re-election in the 2022 midterms, potentially shrinking House Speaker Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s (D-CA) already slim majority.</p>
<p>Reps. David Price (D-NC) and Mike Doyle (D-PA) are set to retire from Congress, the pair said this week.</p>
<p>Doyle and Price &#8220;have easily won reelection in their blue-leaning districts in recent years,&#8221; Fox News <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/north-carolina-democrat-rep-david-price-to-retire-ahead-of-2022-midterms">noted</a>, &#8220;But without their guaranteed presence, Democrats&#8217; slim majority in the House becomes increasingly fragile.&#8221;</p>
<p class="speakable">&#8220;I am announcing today that I will not seek re-election as representative for North Carolina’s Fourth Congressional District,&#8221; said a statement from Price, who represents the Durham area. &#8220;I do so with a profound sense of gratitude to the voters of the Fourth District; to the supporters who have backed me in 18 successive campaigns; and to my staff in Washington and the district, whose competence and dedication are responsible for the quality of representation and service I have been able to provide.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So while it is time for me to retire, it is no time to flag in our efforts to secure a ‘more perfect union’ and to protect and expand our democracy … promise, in the fifteen months remaining and beyond, to continue fighting for the just and inclusive country we believe in,&#8221; the Democrat added.</p>
<p>Doyle, who represents the Pittsburgh area, is retiring after serving more than a dozen terms.</p>

<p>&#8220;I stood by the people of Pittsburgh and they stood by me, sending me back to represent them 13 additional terms, and I have no doubt they would do it again if today I was announcing my intention to seek re-election in 2022,&#8221; the Democrat said. &#8220;But I believe the time has come to pass the torch to the next generation, so I’ve called you here today to announce that I will not be a candidate for Congress in 2022 and plan to retire at the end of my current term.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It is my goal to &#8216;run through the finish line,&#8217; as I still have 14 months left on my term,&#8221; Doyle promised. &#8220;I will be in Washington, DC, tomorrow pushing to get the infrastructure bill and our ‘Build Back Better’ plan passed because the people I am privileged to represent will benefit greatly from their passage.&#8221;</p>

<p>Last week, House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. John Yarmuth (D-KY) <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/north-carolina-democrat-rep-david-price-to-retire-ahead-of-2022-midterms">announced</a> his retirement, too.</p>
</div>
</div>
<p>This month, speculation has grown surrounding a potential retirement from Pelosi &#8212; though the Democrat seemed to dismiss the rumors.</p>
<p class="dcr-s23rjr">As <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/11/nancy-pelosi-retire-who-will-replace-her-if-she-does-democrats">highlighted</a> by The Guardian, Pelosi said at a press conference last month that her &#8220;leadership&#8221; for the reconciliation bill &#8220;was a culmination of my service in Congress because it was about the children.&#8221;</p>
<p class="dcr-s23rjr">This prompted a reporter to inquiry about Pelosi&#8217;s use of the word “culmination.” “Get out of here,” Pelosi seemed to dismiss the speculation.</p>
<p class="dcr-s23rjr">&#8220;The exchange exemplified Pelosi’s other comments about her potential retirement: a hint, chased with a heavy dose of uncertainty,&#8221; The Guardian noted. &#8220;Despite her previous promises to fellow House Democrats, it remains unclear whether Pelosi will step down as speaker at the end of this term.&#8221;</p>
